Parker Washington a Low-Upside Bench Option in Week 5

Sunday, October 5, 6:53 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football in what should be a difficult game. That could mean the offense struggles quite a bit, but it could also mean plenty of targets for a receiver like Parker Washington. Washington had a down week in Week 4 after 76 receiving yards in Week 2 and 11 targets in Week 3, making him a risky play. However, he has at least shown himself capable of producing in the inconsistent Jaguars offense, albeit with limited upside. Washington is fine to roster, but better left on the bench in Week 5 against the tough Chiefs' secondary.

Jalen Coker News

Jalen Coker Working Back to Full-Time Role

Tuesday, October 28, 3:01 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker was on the field for 40 of his team's 61 offensive snaps in a Week 8 loss to the Bills. This came after taking 26 of 71 snaps in Week 7, his first game of 2025 after a hamstring injury caused him to sit out the first six weeks. After failing to record a catch in that first game back, Coker caught three of four targets on Sunday for 36 yards, and as he continues to play his way back into football shape, he should see his snap count and target share increase. With starting quarterback Bryce Young currently considered day-to-day with an ankle injury, there's a chance he returns for Week 9 against the Packers, making Coker an intriguing waiver add who could be started in a pinch this week, but should continue to see his value increase on a depth chart begging for a secondary option behind Tetairoa McMillan.
